Just curious if organizing cards are out on the property at Colgan? If so, US Labor law requires employers to maintain "laboratory conditions" while organizing attempts are underway.
This is a pretty common ploy for an airline to attempt to rebuff organizing efforts at no cost or risk. It works like this: The airline promises improvements to work agreements only to rescind the improvement due to DOL requirements. The effect is that the airline paints the union as a problem - not a solution for the pilots. When faced with the prospects of unionization on the property, most managements will pull out all the stops to rebuff organization efforts.
